Available for select work · Cebu City, PhilippinesFull-Stack & AI Product Engineer in Cebu City. I build production systems where AI, real-time, and 3D actually ship.
Six projects, from a seven-service AI platform to a Python tool that fixes one specific bug everyone else ships. Open any card for the problem and the decisions behind it.
A production AI platform for CV analysis, interview preparation, speech coaching and work simulations — built as a seven-service monorepo with a team of eight.
Browser-based 3D garment design for an on-demand apparel platform — where what you see on screen has to be what the factory cuts and sews.
A complete operating system for a church — members, giving and finances, learning, community, and a live presenter mode for services. Built solo, in the evenings.
A coding-assessment tool that runs JavaScript, Python and real SQL entirely in the candidate's browser — no execution backend, no container costs, no sandbox escape surface.
I'm a full-stack engineer from Cebu City who spends most of his time in the messy middle of hard products — the part where an AI demo has to become a system that eight people can work on and thousands of people can rely on.
For the last few years that has meant two things. Real-time 3D: building the garment configurator and asset pipeline at 23point5, an on-demand apparel platform where a design has to render accurately in the browser and survive all the way to a factory. And AI infrastructure: ThorneAI, a career-coaching platform where I'm the second-largest contributor to a 6,799-commit monorepo — agents, RAG, speech, auth, queues, sockets and observability.
I like the unglamorous parts. Migrations that don't lose data. Queues that drain. Traces that tell you the truth at 3am. The interface is the promise; the system is whether you keep it.
Away from the editor I sing, read, and build things for my church — including the platform it now runs on.
“For by the grace of God, I am what I am.”
1 Corinthians 15:10 — the line on my GitHub profile since 2018
Agency work taught me to ship. 23point5 taught me that a render can be wrong in a way that costs real fabric. ThorneAI taught me what it takes for eight people to move in one codebase.
Thorne Consulting · ThorneAI
Second-largest contributor to a seven-service AI platform, across the agent layer, authentication service, background workers and realtime socket tier.
23point5 · 3D Design Studio
Real-time WebGL garment configurator and the asset pipeline behind it, for an on-demand apparel platform manufacturing every order from scratch.
Independent & agency work · Cebu City
React, Node and GraphQL product work, alongside a deep public catalogue of WebGL, state-machine and realtime experiments.
Everything here is something I've used to ship something someone depends on — not a list of things I've read about.
I’m open to select engineering work — AI platforms, realtime systems, browser 3D, or a codebase that needs someone who enjoys the parts nobody volunteers for.
